OH I KNOW the BEST ANSWER here...LOL Seriously...it's the Dream King author of Graphic Novels...Neil Gaiman...he wrote The Sandman Grahpic novels and they are really great and they are completely centered around the dream world. If you haven't tried him....you should check him out. He's also written Coraline, Neverwhere and The Day I swapped my dad for two goldfish...and more. He's most known for his sandman graphic novels though. :)

Here is a great one:::: The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula le Guin. The protagonist -- whatever he dreams about becomes reality for the entire world. He goes to a doctor for a cure, but the doctor ends up using hypnosis in an effort to play God by exploiting the man's unusual ability. The doctor tries to use the power of hypnotic suggestion to influence what the man dreams about, e.g, ways to improve the world, always with unintended unusual and sometimes world-threatening results. Really interesting book that raises questions about who makes life-changing decisions for others, who can play God, and other ethical issues. I really recommend it!

"Plains of Passage" and "Shelters of Stone" by Jean M. Auel. She uses Ayla's "dreams" as premonitions more than anything else, which is why I like it. I like for things to make sense in a book. I don't want to hear about dreams of things that the character "remembers," I want it to have bearing on the future events of the story.

Crime and Punishment. Raskolnikov's dream of men beating a dead horse is blatantly an enforcement of one of C&P's many themes.
